Air Bags or Cylinders I have air bags all around now. I was thinking about going to cylinders in the back so I could pull three wheel better. I was also maybe thinking about hopping the rear and was wondering if bags or cylinders would be better for that. If anyone knows any websites or companies that I could get some air suspension parts from I would just like to look around at all the options that I can do.

Rep Power: 0 I have a EAI kit with bags. Me and a friend made bolt on brackets for the rear bags so i can adjust the height of the rear of the car at 0 psi. But I am going to get some cylinders for the rear so I can do three wheel better. I have adjusted the bag brackets so the fender sits just above the tire in the front so I can still drive the car if anything bad was to happen and just above the rim in the back. www.showtimehydraulics.com has 3" and 4" cylinders for the 7th gen civics and EAI also has them.

I haven't seen a Showtime kit installed on a vehicle but I have seen a picture of their "euro" kit and the cylinders look good. If anyone wants cylinders they usually cost over $100 each but if you get September 2004 issue of Mini Truckin' and look on page 73 there is a Showtime ad that has cylinders advertised for $69 each 3" or 4". That's cheap for cylinders. Check it out. If anyone finds out any info on those cylinders or cylinders any cheaper or where I can get some brackets for cylinders for the rear of my 01 Civic EX coupe please let me know.

Rep Power: 0 EAI / Hack Shack already tested cylinders for the back of the car and they do not work. You wont be able to put cylinders in the back. I asked tones of questions about that when I bought my setup and basicly it comes down to bags in back and cylinders in front for best ride. Or even Cylinders in front with Air Struts in back.

Rep Power: 296 ^If you are referring to the pic on the EAI website, the pic is wrong. TRUST ME, EAI does not sell an all the way around cylinder kit for our cars.

Rep Power: 261 I've got the easystreet setup with strutbags all the way around and it rides real smooth. It won't lay very low but if I ever have a problem I can still drive it home with 0 psi. Haven't yet knock on wood. If you're lookin for a good ride and don't want to slam a body kit off easystreet is good
